    Biscuits and Gravy w/ bacon
    Sheila C.

    I thought the food was good, but average. Took forever for them to bring me my toast, I was half way through my meal. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The building and inside are very cozy and intimate.

    Pancakes, 3 eggs, 3 sausages

    Chucks will always be a 5/5 for me. Breakfast here is the perfect hometown local place that will feed you well for a fair price. My go to breakfast orders is always the Jimmy Z on a bagel with sausage and a side of fries. However, the pancakes here are some of the best I have ever had so I had to get those today. Ranch here is amazing too and the fried cheese balls are one of the most underrated things on the menu. I also have to come back at some point to try their deep dish pizza which I've heard good things about. People here are always so nice and helpful as well. Can't beat the midwestern hospitality. All in all, this place is exactly what you want in local diner that you will always reminisce about when you are away.

    Bacon and eggs with American fries
    Michelle N.

    The food was out of this world delicious! The potion sizes were enough to fill up a hungry man! Coffee pot left at the table. Our waitress was on the spot with her friendliness and light up the room smile. The heated indoor patio with lots of windows was so homey and cozy. Loved watching the squirrels collect their nuts.

    Cinnamon roll french toast
    Greg B.

    I had a late morning movie at the Marcus Theatre in Mequon and wanted to stop somewhere for breakfast first. The place I initially thought of was closed for the holiday weekend, so I had to look at other options. I've been to Chuck's Place before (mainly for their fish fry), but it had been a long time since my last stop and I wasn't sure if I had ever tried their breakfast. In addition to having a breakfast burrito, which I generally seek out, they had an amazing looking cinnamon roll french toast. Rather than choosing between the two, I ordered both and decided I would only be eating one meal that day. My order consisted of the cinnamon roll french toast and a breakfast burrito with egg, Nueske's bacon, and cheese with hash browns for the side. The cinnamon roll french toast is a diabetic's nightmare and a sugar lover's dream. Not only do you have sweetness in the cinnamon roll itself, it's coated with cinnamon/sugar and powered sugar after it's fried AND you get syurp to pour on top. The first of the two pieces were great, then the amount sweetness started to do me in. I strongly recommend ordering a salty side to mix up the flavor, like bacon, if your order the cinnamon roll french toast. The breakfast burrito was awesome. All of the ingredients had moments to shine and Nueske's bacon has such a higher tasting quality that lesser bacon simply doesn't have. The hash browns were perfectly crispy, but needed salt and pepper to enhance the flavor. Service was uneven. It took a while to be seated because "they were cleaning tables" even though I saw no one cleaning and two empty tables at a quick glance that were ready to go. It also took longer than expected to get my water. The entryway can be extremely packed for those trying to come in and those trying to check out depending on when you're passing through. Not much you can do about that, but just be aware that it could be a little difficult.

    Chucks awesome Cheese Balls and secret sauce
    Erin P.

    One bite of their famous cheese balls and you'll understand why they get their acclaim. A half order gets you 5 of these bad boys (full order = 10). The cheese is luxurious, gives great pull and the delicately seasoned batter is expertly crisped to provide the perfect texture contrast to the molten, gooey goodness. Served with their secret sauce- which totally rocks. It has a subtle sweetness. It reminds me a little of Russian Dressing or the Secret Stadium Sauce. Whatever it is, don't be afraid. It's the ideal compliment to those killer balls. Honestly there isn't anything bad here and people talk a lot about their pizza and breakfasts- which are delicious but they also have a pretty good burger. Today we had our two fav sammies: the French Dip with mushrooms and onions and the Southern Fried Chicken. Both were outstanding. Chuck's has something for everyone and I can't wait to return.

    Easy to drive past this unassuming place, but this family owned business has a lot to offer. They have a moderate-sized menu covering a wide range of cuisines you wouldn't expect out of a diner-looking establishment. I have tried the chicken Parmesan spaghetti and eggplant Parmesan. Turns out I have an affinity for Parmesan dishes. They were both tasty and even had enough for leftovers. If you're hungry their entree size is plenty sufficient for a single serve and may even have extra to share with other. The side salad that came with the entree was a decent size too, not tiny and just right. A little less than a serving and appropriate for a side. I added my group's orders too for illustration, and I would definitely come back to try the others. Drink wise , they have a basic selection, I did order half raspberry lemonade and half soda water which isn't a typical drink and they were able to accommodate. Staff were friendly and accommodating. They were attentive and was able to get the order correctly the first time! :)

    The Chicago deep dish.
    Steven T.

    I finally got back to try the Chicago deep dish pizza, I'm not in this area much so it has taken a while after learning that they make this pizza. I grew up in Chicago so I have tried all major hitters up until I moved to WI and I have one favorite place for deep dish which is Lou Malnatis, no fear because they are not in WI and no competition to Chucks. I have been eating LM since my teens so it's the bar for deep dish pizza. Ok, if you have never had a Chicago deep dish pizza let me break it down for you because a lot of people in WI I talk to think its thick crust pan pizza which it's not. This pizza is a thinner crust with a wall for the edge to hold in all toppings and built upside down compared to a regular pizza. The cheese is on the bottom, the sausage is a sheet on top of the cheese and the sauce is on top which is more of a chunky tomato relish with a garlic flavor. Well Chucks has the correct look and smell I noticed right away so let's dig in. The pizza was pretty good I have to say for the record and it's almost there, almost. It has the right amount mozzarella cheese, it's cheesy. My first thought was it's tasty with the garlic/sausage/sauce flavors playing well together but it was missing something, Chucks doesn't do the butter crust which is the missing flavor that makes Chicago deep dish for me. The butter crust is the only pizza that I will eat the wall of the crust and not throw it away, Chucks gets tossed. Overall the pizza is good and if you can't get to the greater Chicago area this is close enough to satisfy if you don't want a frozen store version which is out there. Even though it's missing the butter crust everyone at work liked it and I will have to try some other pizzas on the menu.

    Slow service but good food. We seem to have been forgotten on the patio. We enjoyed the three season porch and will be back to try again.

    I've been a regular of Out & Out for years, even since a friend brought it to my attention. Not…read morebeing a Cedarburg resident it's an extra 20 minutes out of the way if I'm stopping after work or a 40 minute round trip if I'm just heading from home, but I'm happy to make the trip. Their menu consists largely of Mac & Cheese, wraps, paninis and frozen custard. Being a Wisconsinite it really resonates with me. I get the classic "original" mac and cheese every time. It's always consistently good and it's still warm after my 20 minute drive home. They use a less common noodle that is quite large and the portion is generous too. The other menu item I'm always to is the shake of the week. They always have a different one and they're always good. Oh, and I have to mention their salads. Not for me, but my mother likes them as much a salad she gets anywhere else. Another thing I appreciate is the fact they have an app. An app for a local place isn't common in my experience. This makes it easy to order in advance so you can skip the line, skip the phone call and better still earn rewards. Finally, I have to commend a few of the guys who work here. Two gentlemen in particular who both are always pleasant and personable, which alone is commendable, but they've also both been there a few years. They both seem to be managers, but I'm not sure, though I wanted to recognize them. Both are older than the general staff and both are there various weekdays.

    This is a go-to for kids in the area. I'm not saying it's not for adults but everytime I'm in…read morethere it's 90% high school kids. Their mac and cheese options are fantastic. I've asked about the mac recipe, and was told it was completely secret and only the the owner knows the recipe. I'd give it 5 stars, but it is a bit on the pricey side.

    ZERO STARS AND TWO THUMBS DOWN!!! SERVICE WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE…read more I was on the phone with my friend while he was ordering his food. He ordered steak and eggs. When his order came out, he received bacon which he DOES NOT EAT and have not in over 30 years. The man at the register who claimed to be the manager argued my friend down about what he heard. He continued to say I heard you say bacon. This frustrated me so badly because he was adamantly WRONG! I CLEARLY HEARD MY FRIEND SAY THAT HE WILL TAKE STEAK AND EGGS. AND I KNOW THAT HE DOES NOT EAT BACON SO WHY WOULD HE SAY THAT HE WANTED BACON??? THE MAN WAS INITIALLY TRYING TO MAKE HIM PAY FOR A WHOLE NEW MEAL. I WAS STILL ON THE PHONE AND I TOLD MY FRIEND NO! THAT IS NOT RIGHT. I TOLD HIM TO REQUEST A REFUND! THE MAN SAID HE IS NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE A REFUND BECAUSE HE HEARD HIM SAY BACON. HE DID NOT ORDER BACON. IN A JEWISH DELI...WHY ARE YOU EVEN SERVING PORK?????? HE WENT THERE WITH CONFIDENCE THAT IT WOULD BE KOSHER. My friend asked for the manager and the owner. The man told him he was the manager and to call the owner on Monday. Totally unacceptable! Totally unnecessary. Learn how to apologize when you have clearly made a mistake and correct the mistake that YOU made. My friend was so calm and kind to this rude and unaccountability taking man that it truly frustrated me to witness such bad customer service prompting this review. He even left an undeserving tip. To the owner, if you have cameras... Saturday 9/12/2026 between 10:30 and 11am. My friend did not deserve to be treated so poorly, and I feel something should still be done to correct this horrible service. He has *Dietary restrictions* with pig juice all on his eggs. For shame!!!
